Arsenal made history as they became the first English team to score five goals at halftime in a Champions League match.
The Emirates outfit's return to Europe’s top flight competition after a six-year absence has been a successful one.
The Gunners cruised to victory in a clash against French club side, Lens on Wednesday, November 29.
Mikel Artata's side are dancing their way into the UEFA Champions League last 16 as group leaders after an exciting first-half performance against the French outfit at the Emirates Stadium.
The North London outfit were 5-0 up before half-time thanks to goals from Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard.
Jorginho converted a spot kick in the 86th minute of action to round off the scoring for a team that has strived for attacking fluency in the Premier League, despite being in first place after 13 matches and back in the journey for the title that just eluded them last season.
Mikel Arteta's men molded their names in the Champions League history books as they became the first-ever English club side to lead by that many goals at half-time in Europe's top-flight cup game.
It was 15 minutes of action from the north London outfit that saw them score four goals before their captain Martin Odegaard added another towards the end of half-time.
Those minutes blasted them to another bit of record-making history as they became the joint-fastest English Club, along with Manchester United, to score four times in the first 27 minutes.
Notably, the Old Trafford outfit accomplished the achievement against Brondby in the 1998-99 season, the same campaign when they secured the record-breaking treble.
Kai Havertz has been in shining form this November as he bagged his third goal in four matches.
The Germany international once again ghosted into aperture to slot beyond Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba from close range after Gabriel Jesus set him up with a flick-on.
What's next for Arsenal?
The Gunners will cruise into the knockouts by finishing top of Group B, irrespective of their outcome against PSV away from Emirates Stadium on December 12.
In addition, after the powerful victory in Europe, Arteta will now shift attention to the English Premier League where they are set to lock horns against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, December 2.
